It’s a small town.
It’s a crowded store.
But we have lots of inventory and we know books.
There are now fewer than 60 Christian bookstores in Canada. We are one of them. If it’s been a long time since you shopped a store like ours, come and stroll through a memory lane of great resources, plus new things you haven’t seen before.
The hours below are accurate. If the line is busy (or you get what sounds like the fax machine we don’t actually own) please keep calling. Trust our website for hours; Google is simply not always accurate.
Upcoming Hours
Monday – Closed
Tuesday – 10:30 – 4:00
Wednesday – 10:30 – 4:00
Thursday – 10:30 – 4:00
Friday – 10:30 – 4:00
Saturday – 10:30 – 4:00
To answer an often-asked question, our current sales level does not foresee any expansion of these hours.

WELCOME to Searchlight Christian Resources. We’re located at 884 Division Street in Cobourg (a town about halfway between Oshawa and Belleville) just 2 minutes (three quick traffic lights) south of the 401. Our store is a full service Christian Bookstore, that is, we carry everything the big stores have, maybe just not so many copies. We’ve been 27½ years in Cobourg, but the business history of Searchlight goes back another 20 years before that.
We’re also a Christian book outlet store. Many of the books we receive are red-tagged bargain books, consisting of a mixture of publisher overstock and remainders. These are all new books, not used. To make the deal even sweeter on those red-tagged titles, we offer an instant rewards program of Buy-4-Get-1-Free (lowest price items in each grouping of five drops out.)
What to expect: Cobourg is a small town so we’re a small town store. Two aisles at the front, three in the middle and one at the back. However, our store is packed with Bibles — over 1,000 in stock — and books. Specialty areas include fiction, family life, apologetics, classic writing, academic, prayer, children’s picture books; and we also have giftware, DVDs, greeting cards, boxed cards and Christian music on CD. And jigsaw puzzles you’ve never seen anywhere else.
In-store shopping is wide open:
- Masks optional
- Hand sanitizer available
- If you are in contact with someone who is self-isolating, please postpone your visit to another day
PHONE: Give us a call at 905 372 5519 during business hours and we’ll tell you more. Out of area call us at 800 210 5661.
CAN’T GET TO COBOURG: You’d be surprised how many of your friends pass by here from Toronto/Durham on their way to Belleville, Kingston, Ottawa or Quebec. Or conversely, people from those areas driving to Toronto, Hamilton, Kitchener, etc. Place an order and then, find a friend passing through here during our business hours, and pay by e-transfer.
For those who came looking for directions to the bookstore, or were re-directed from Searchlightbooks.ca here’s a map showing where we are at 884 Division Street (on the east side) in Cobourg. We’re at the front of the building.
Taking the 401? From points west (Port Hope, Bowmanville, Oshawa, etc.) take exit 474-A. From the east (Brighton, Trenton, Belleville, Kingston, etc.) take exit 474 and turn left. Baltimore road becomes Division Street. The blue line on the map below is Highway 401.
Google and Facebook almost have the pin in the right place, we’re actually at the front of the building
GPS = 78.1727202,43.9758635,0
3 traffic lights south of westbound 401; 3 traffic lights south of eastbound 401; on left side: 884 Division Street, Unit 102, Cobourg K9A 5V3 Note to website readers in the GTA: Cobourg is about 70 minutes east of the DVP/404 and Highway 401. Searchlight offers more maps per website than any other bookstore.

For the first time in decades, the story behind The Hiding Place is revisited.
The Watchmaker’s Daughter is one of the greatest stories of World War II that many readers haven’t heard: the remarkable and inspiring life story of Corrie ten Boom—a groundbreaking, female Dutch watchmaker, whose family unselfishly transformed their house into a hiding place straight out of a spy novel to shelter Jews and refugees from the Nazis during Gestapo raids. Even though the Nazis knew what the ten Booms were up to, they were never able to find those sheltered within the house when they raided it. New York Times bestselling author and master of nonfiction espionage thrillers Larry Loftis. Always in-stock.

When Your Way Isn’t Working: Finding Purpose and Contentment through Deep Connection with Jesus by Kyle Idleman
When you struggle with doubt, when you feel unworthy, when you are sure you don’t have what it takes to live out your purpose, what is the one thing that Jesus wants you to never forget? When Your Way Isn’t Working equips you to discover authentic connection to God and others so you are free to live the life you long for. Based on the powerful sermon series, “Be the Branch.”
The Awe of God: The Astounding Way a Healthy Fear of God Transforms Your Life by John Bevere
Biblical men and women who lived and finished well had one common characteristic: holy reverence of God. This is probably John Bevere’s most significant book since The Bait of Satan. We finally have enough copies in stock that we can advertise it; we kept running out. Paperback edition not sold in the U.S.
Taking a fresh look at what it means to “work out your salvation with fear and trembling,” Bevere shows you why it is the foundation of understanding, divine direction, finding freedom from human opinions, being conformed to Christ’s image, and more. 304 page paperback from Thomas Nelson. $24.99

Pastor Morgan walks you step-by-step through the 50 events marking the world’s final moments as disclosed in the Book of Revelation. This guide to interpreting present circumstances as well as future events provides a key to understanding what will take place sequentially as the new kingdom of heaven arises. 272 page paperback from Thomas Nelson.

Has the Tribulation Begun?: Avoiding Confusion and Redeeming the Time in These Last Days.
As local and international events and news reports become more troubling, interest in Bible prophecy continues to grow. Cultural anxiety is reaching unprecedented highs, and many Christians have begun to wonder if the tribulation described in Revelation is already upon us. Amir Tsarfati has emerged over the past few years as a leading voice on the subject of end-times Bible prophecy. Amir is married to Miriam, and together they have four children. Their home overlooks the valley of Megiddo (Armageddon) which is a constant reminder of the call that the Lord has placed on him to teach from the Bible what God’s plans are for the end of times.

From the author of How the Bible Actually Works
Curveball: When Your Faith Takes Turns you Never Saw Coming by Peter Enns
Life throws us “curve balls”—from devastating personal losses to world tragedies. These events often leave us doubting God, the Bible, and our faith. But instead of pushing away our reservations, we should embrace them, Peter Enns argues. A leading biblical scholar and Christian mentor, Enns has never been afraid to question the Bible or Christian beliefs. Such thoughtful inquisitiveness, he argues, is part of God’s plan. He wants us to question, because doing so actually leads to a stronger, lasting faith.
240 page hardcover from. HarperOne.
► Note: We still have hardcover sale copies of How the Bible Actually Works at less than the paperback price. See in-store for details.

Good Boundaries and Goodbyes: Loving Others Without Losing the Best of Who You Are
Relationships are wonderful . . . until they’re not. Have you ever thought, I can’t keep doing this–something has to change? Or, I’ve tried everything to fix this relationship but nothing is working–I fear I’m becoming someone I don’t even like? Or even, I love this person, but this is starting to feel impossible? Good Boundaries and Goodbyes was born out of Lysa’s own personal struggles with boundaries, extensive theological research, and therapeutic experiences that transformed the way she defined and pursued healthy relationships. In-stock.

Support Independent Bookstores
Did you know that getting the cheapest deal sometimes isn’t the best deal? At Searchlight, we work hard to keep prices low, but we work even harder to ensure you have an amazing experience with us. We want to see your life changed by God’s power and that’s why we run this bookstore, and quite frankly, that’s something online vendors can never offer.
While we too appreciate the convenience and low cost that many big corporate retailers can provide, there are some incredible things that happen when you shop locally. Consider the following:
- We are passionate about transformation and have become experts in the kinds of teaching and music that points people to Christ and can bring change in your life.
- The products we sell are filtered before they hit our shelves, and if something isn’t right for your doctrinal perspective, we’ll let you know ahead of time.
- You get to see, touch, feel; interact with the product before you buy.
- We’re also customers. Our staff are readers and music buyers.
- We support the local economy, your money stays here in Canada, and we hire local staff and use local tradespeople.
- Surprise! You never know who you’ll meet at the store. You never know what resources you’ll find.
- The owners don’t take a salary. No one’s pockets are being lined when you shop here, we just sow everything back into the store.
Please consider supporting Searchlight as your local Christian bookstore, and encourage others to think about the many benefits of buying local.
| SEARCHLIGHT CHRISTIAN BOOK OUTLET | These are NOT previously enjoyed books, but rather, publisher overstock or recently discontinued titles. Most are 30% to 40% off with free books available on multiple purchases. |
How to Browse a Bookstore
Increasingly, browsing is becoming a lost art as computer algorithms and bots tell us what we like and what we should buy based on previous purchases. Remember that often, certain authors and publishers paid for their titles to come to the top of the list, and in the case of Christian books, sometimes the content of the book doesn’t reflect your beliefs at all.
Here’s a better way:
- Allow 25 minutes. Yes, there’s such a thing as the “seven-minute quick-browse,” and some have this mastered and can rush in and walk out with some good reading, but for the most part give yourself the better part of a half hour.
- Check out the new releases. If you’ve been part of the capital “C” Church for awhile, there should be names you recognize, or if you’re active online, there should be issues of which you’re aware. The bestsellers and new releases represent the cream of the crop.
- Find an area of the store which interests you. Classic authors. Commentaries on a particular book of the Bible you’ve wanted to dig deeper into. Biographies on significant Christian people, both dead and living. Books by the top Christian authors who have proven the worth of their writing over the years. Books to deepen your prayer life. Books by younger authors or writers who appeal to next-generation readers. Books which break down the Bible into manageable units to help us see the big picture. Audio books for those who do a lot of driving.
- Look at the cover. Yes, you can tell some things about a book by the cover, the title and the subtitle.
- Look at the back cover. This is called the “blurb.” (Say that word out loud, and if there’s children in the room, they should laugh or at least stare at you.) The blurb is a summary of what the book has to offer. (On hardcovers it might be on the inside front flap or back flap of the dust jacket.)
- Walk to the checkout and say, “I would like to buy this book.” If we know you, and we honestly think it’s not a good fit for you, we’ll tell you. You don’t get that human touch shopping online. Also, we may pause to tell you about similar titles. We’re not trying to run up your bill, we just want you to know your options.
- Set aside a time and place to read good Christian books. Some recommend always having a particular chair. With a cup of coffee nearby and your Bible at the ready in case you want to further check something out, you’re ready to embark on a journey which we believe enhances and enriches Christian living.
- When you’re finished reading, return to the store and repeat starting at step 1.
Church librarians!
We have a program for libraries called 20/200/20 which saves your church money on purchases of 20 in-stock books or $200 worth of in-stock books; or on orders for 20 titles or orders of $200 or more. For churches, on smaller purchases we have a program called WebMatch which competes aggressively with the best online sellers have to offer.
